Students analyze optical illusions from the packets, both individually and as a class. They create an original optical illusion design using pattern and repetition. They determine which color needs to be in the pattern.

Students practice making patterns with paint and stamps.  In this arts and crafts lesson, students utilize the floor of their classroom to create a giant pattern on the floor using different colored paints and foam stamps....

Seventh graders practice using pattern blocks. In this pre-algebra lesson plan, 7th graders complete tasks that require them to compare fractions, make fractions equivalent, and add fractions.

In this patterns instructional activity, learners look at the each of the patterns in the 5 rows of shapes. In each row, students recognize patterns by filling in the last 2 shapes to complete the pattern in each of the 5 rows.

Students improve their multiplication skills by completing the multiplication equations for facts 2, 5, and 10. In this multiplication facts instructional activity, students use different colored markers to mark on a number line and skip...

In this recognizing patterns worksheet, students identify problems with patterns and draw the number of pencils that most likely come next. Students solve four problems.

Rhythm, repetition, positive, and negative space is used to create mixed media collages. Let your learners go wild with glue, magazine clippings, and the elements of design. They'll experiment with various types of media, color, and...

Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...

As an exercise in self-awareness and improvement, class members create a Conflict Shield listing 12 skills they believe are the most useful in conflict resolution. They then color the ones they have mastered while leaving uncolored those...

Have crumpets with the queen! Kindergartners count the number of crumpets on each plate - all add up to six - and write the correct number in the space provided. They then copy a dominoes pattern for different ways to add up to six, and...

Learners explore color, shape, line, balance, radial symmetry, unity, repetition, and pattern as they make a peace quilt inspired by those made by Hawaiian women in the 1800s. After learning a bit about the history or peace quilts, the...

While all light travels at the same speed, each color in the visible light spectrum contains a different wavelength and frequency. Scholars determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength as they complete the activity. They...

These number sequences are quite fun to look at! Beginning counters complete six of them as they say and write in the numbers. They count only by 1s, however some of these move from greatest to least. The highest number here is 20. Once...

A solid activity on teaching the nine planets in our solar system is here for you. In it, young scientists learn the correct order of the planets, and they choose one of the planets to do a research report on. They must come up with five...

Find the numbers that the sneaky snakes are hiding! Using a number table, primaries determine which numbers are covered up by snakes. They write in the numbers next to the matching snake below the table, which reinforces both...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Control the computer processing speed with mathematics! Scholars use a computer program to graph color-changing functions. Using complex polynomial functions slows the speed of the program, but simplifying the expression allows the...

Discover the science behind astronomy. After reading the book Maria's Comet, which is about a young woman who breaks new ground by becoming a female astronomer, young learners practice reading comprehension with...

The weather is cooling down and the leaves are starting to change color; fall is right around the corner. Celebrate this special time of year with this earth and life science lesson series that teaches children about the...

For this life science worksheet, students examine the 4 stages of the butterfly's life cycle and color in the black line pictures. They read the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical objects before they complete symmetrical...

Students explore radial symmetry.  In this 3 dimensional art and geometry lesson, students identify examples of radial symmetry in everyday objects. Students create an imprint using radial symmetry on clay tiles.

Seventh graders, after predicting dominant colors foud in their habitat or garden, visit heir area on a monthly basis. They search for colored toothpicks, then graph the results, determining the dominant color for the month.

Pupils view and discuss the work of Trudy Kraft and then create a batik project based on her ideas of pattern and depth of overlapping color in a transparent medium.
